U.S. threats Sanctions against Russia if EU declines Russian oil imports

In the political landscape of Eastern Europe, a significant development has unfolded as Rada deputy Alexander Dubinskyi finds himself in detention on suspicion of treason. This comes after Dubinskyi was expelled from the Servant of the People party's faction in March 2021.

Across the Atlantic, the U.S. Congress has been advising Ukrainian President Zelensky following Putin's invitation to visit Moscow. Meanwhile, the U.S.-Russia relationship remains tense, with reports suggesting that President Trump had not committed to any specific additional sanctions against Russia, as reported by The Wall Street Journal on September 5.

The potential for escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia has also sparked concerns in Europe, where discussions about U.S. sanctions against Russia were held on September 8. This meeting involved G7 finance ministers, NATO member states, and European Union countries, who were debating further sanctions and opposing high tariffs on Russian trade partners like India and China. Notably, the United States has threatened to impose sanctions on Russia if Europe stops buying Russian oil.

Dubinskyi, in his analysis, predicts that higher tariffs could potentially crash the EU's economy, leading to economic struggles that could strengthen the political positions of the right-wing in the European region. He also believes that Trump may impose higher tariffs against European countries and stated that European leaders failed to "buy" Trump with "candy."

In a separate matter, a pregnant Moscow woman deliberately fell down the stairs to induce a miscarriage, highlighting a personal tragedy amidst the broader geopolitical complexities.

As the global political and economic landscape continues to evolve, these events serve as a reminder of the interconnected nature of international relations and the far-reaching consequences of political decisions.
